^ this! your repo should have script(s) in it that re-generate, entirely, all of the binary results files that can be fed into some notebook to automatically generate the figures you put directly into your overleaf. Ditto for tables saved as text outputs. Also, write tests. No one will force you to, but it will save you from finding a bug a month before a conference deadline or during the review process, which can cost you way way more time than just writing the test.

For lit reviews, I just do it in overleaf + bibtex. I wasted a lot of time with reference managers that I never seemed to use when I was actually writing my papers. When you read a paper you think you will need to cite, write two sentences describing the result and put a reference in an overleaf. That will serve as a great cognitive map when you're trying to find "that thing you read last year" but can't remember the names.

Best part of this is your toolchain is light and flexible (these days I just use git, vscode, conda, and overleaf), and you will have clean github repos to show off when you're looking for the next step post-PhD.

I have a theory that these q's legally favor recent grads without having any explicit requirement to do so. Helps them filter for young, freshly-trained students who they can mould into whatever they like inside of the FAANG-bubble.

A lot has already been said. I can add that I grew up in a very nice suburb and will do anything to avoid them for the rest of my days.

I just fact checked myself and found that the half-life is actually 3-5 hours. Sorry about that. But in any case, it's common for people to go to bed at night with some active caffeine in their system.

Well, there's half as much, I don't know enough to say there is a linear relationship between caffeine concentration and it's psychological effects.

How many coffees per day do you drink? And what is the time of your last coffee? The half life of caffeine is 8 hours, and can inhibit deep sleep even if you achieve unconsciousness.

I think the enlightenment of psychedelics is often oversold, but it isn't naught either. These experiences are one way of proving to yourself that your perceptions are not a clear window, they're more like stained glass. The majik is when you realize how to mold and shape that stained glass such that it leads you to make better decisions, and gain more control over your own experience.

Well, there are always ways to make yourself more wealthy. You spend less on consumables and spend more on investments.

People who typically become extraordinarily wealthy do so via high-risk, high-reward activities like business ownership.

Now you can argue that the risk reward equation isn't the same for people who have 20 million in the bank and 200 dollars in the bank, and that is very true, but it doesn't make the advice to spend as much as you can on investments incorrect.

Is it just me, or is the comment section all about hating on MBAs, when the article is about how these elite programs are losing out due to changes in US immigration policies?

When scientists disagree among themselves, it's hard to use this strategy.

If you want to avoid this, just read the paper.

I don't understand why technical people waste their time complaining about this stuff. We all have the acumen to read, understand, and debate research.

No, it works because it (very likely) stimulates a very specific kind of brain activity that leads the body to break up the proteins. The article's explanation is incorrect. The experiment itself didn't verify what I just said because it is an invivo clinical study, but if you dig around you can find support for my claim.
